Good Stuff: Two Albums and Short Fiction
On Guitar - Masayoshi Takanaka
This guy shreds loud. He shreds soft. He shreds with emotion. He shreds with purpose. He plays his heart all the way out and back again on WE'RE ALL ALONE, concluding the album. This could have been the last song he'd ever play and he'd probably be satisfied ending his career right then and there.
Favorite tune: JUST THE WAY YOU ARE
Quarantine Sessions - Tom Misch
Another guitar-centric album. This one is full of covers played by UK-based beatmaker/multi-instrumentalist, Tom Misch. Floaty, smooth, easy listening.
Favorite Tune: Cranes In The Sky
"A Full-Service Shelter" by Amy Hempel
From Amy Hempel's short story collection, Sing to It. Do you want to cry?
